The paleo diet seems right on target with how I want to perform. I do have a bit of a sweet tooth and try to consume after workouts. Thanks again:)ATWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634611792880885608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417192197645926716.post-36893189910721162962010-06-28T01:39:33.100-04:002010-06-28T01:39:33.100-04:00Awesome!

I have really really come to love trail running and have put in a couple of longer trail runs recently. <br />Have you read Paleo Diet for Athletes? He talks a fair bit on there about periodizing your nutrition to promote fat burning in ultra endurance events, training your body to rely more on fat for fuel. <br />I also second the recommend for Born to Run if you haven't read it yet!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297237900094898777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417192197645926716.post-50205255489799534432010-05-27T15:44:01.958-04:002010-05-27T15:44:01.958-04:00Just started following your blog.

But on the topic A must read for anyone starting is Born to Run, I credit the book in my inspiration to do stupid endurance things. Check it out here http://www.amazon.com/Born-Run-Hidden-Superathletes-Greatest/dp/0307266303<br /><br /><br />Additionally being a stickler for math you mentioned your ".2 cents"... please see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt1w4iRNWLA unless you actually are trying to coin a new phrase "my two tenths of a cent" in which case go with god my friend and forget i ever said anything!!! Good luck with the run man.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12193799537670674060noreply@blogger.com
